What the archive knows

The whole of this row was the word «Dominus». A title somebody wrote down, with a birth year and a death year off a family tree and no document behind either. He now has a daughter, from a register. > 20. · Margarita figlia q. Sig.ʳ Giuseppe Defranceschi, N.º 36 — 1783 (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01069209: the Gologorica obit calendar, under 20 April.) Margarita died on 22 April 1783 — the calendar's 20th is two days out. ⚠⚠ CORRECTED 11 Oct 2026 — the register buries him at the END OF 1787, aged 64; «1782» is withdrawn. Her father outlived her by four and a half years, so the calendar's «q.» was wrong and the reasoning that once rested on it is withdrawn with it. ⚠ inf, and the objection travels with it. The entry names a Giuseppe Defranceschi dead before April 1783 and gives no age, no house for him and no other mark. ⚠⚠ CORRECTED 11 Oct 2026 — the register buries him at the END OF 1787, aged 64; «1782» is withdrawn. The «q.» was a copyist's word and the whole of that argument falls with it. The two tree rows now carry one documented man's years and the adjudication is on the worklist. ⭐ And it places him at house 36 by his daughter, which is the house of Joannes Baptista and Catharina and of Sancta the spinster — ⚠ the entry gives the house against Margarita, not against him, and nothing further is claimed. ⚠ His own death is not documented. The obit calendar is the book that would do it and only ten of its nineteen openings have been read. --- ⭐ And a SECOND daughter, found the same evening. > «patrini fuerunt Rev.ᵈᵒ D. Mathias Baxa, Canonicus Titularis Cathedralis Eccl. Petinensis, et Marianna filia Domini Josephi Defranceschi» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068965, Gologorica baptisms, 2 July 1780.)* Marianna stands godmother on 2 July 1780, beside a titular canon of Pedena cathedral. So this row — which was the single word «Dominus» this morning — now has two daughters, Margarita and Marianna, both inf on the same argument and both named «filia … Josephi Defranceschi» in the register. --- ⚠ 10 October — a contemporary register does not call him dead in April 1783, and the tree does. > «Margaretta … filia Josephi et Hellenæ jugalium de Franceschi» — 22 April 1783 (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068991, «Liber Mortuorum II», 22 April 1783.)* No «quondam». Where the obit calendar, written in 1800, has «figlia q. Sig.ʳ Giuseppe» — and her father's row carried d. 1782 off a family tree. ⚠⚠ CORRECTED 11 Oct 2026 — the register buries him at the END OF 1787, aged 64; «1782» is withdrawn. ⚠ A scribe in April 1783 would normally mark a dead father, and this one did not. ✔✔ That doubt is now settled: the register buries him at the end of 1787. The reason to doubt the 1782, not a reason to move it: the archive has no document for his death at all, and an omitted «q.» is a thinner thing than a date. Recorded as the second figure on this row to rest on a tree and nothing else. ⭐ And his daughter's burial places the household's tomb. Margaretta was laid «in Arca Parentuum» — in her parents' chest-tomb inside the parish church. Nine years earlier the župan's widow at house 46 was buried «in Arca ejusdem existente in hac Parochiali Ecclesia», and the 1770 list makes Josephus the successor at house 46. ⚠ Whether it is the same arca is not stated and is not claimed. --- ⚠⚠ 10 October, later — the 1782 is now the most exposed figure on this row. His daughter's death of 22 April 1783 exists TWICE in the register: once in the men's sequence, struck through as a misplacement, and once among the women. Both writings call her «filia Josephi et Hellenæ JUGALIUM de Franceschi» — neither says «quondam». And he is in no death sequence for 1782 — not the men's, not the women's, and not the obit calendar, which covers 1646–1806. > Three death books, and none of them buries him in 1782. ⚠ The year is not changed. An omitted «q.» *is thin, scribes drop it, and eight deaths in some of these years is a low count for a hundred and thirty houses. But the figure now rests on a family tree against the silence of every register that should hold it, and one entry written twice that treats him as living. --- ⭐⭐ 10 October, later — a THIRD daughter, and his marriage documented fourteen years before anything else. > 26 February 1769 · «Maria filia legitima Josephi et Annæ jugalium Flegar baptizata fuit a me Marco Bancich … patrini fuerunt Dominus Josephus Defranceschi et ROSALIA EJUSDEM FILIA.» > 16 March 1769 · «Catharina filia legitima Stanislai et Dominicæ jugalium Crismanich … patrini fuerunt Dominus Josephus Defranceschi, et HELENA UXOR EJUSDEM.» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068925, «Liber Baptizatorum II» 1764–1788 — a book this archive had never opened.) Three weeks apart, in a book this archive had never opened:


26 Feb 1769	he stands godfather with *Rosalia, his daughter* — a row that was a name and a place
16 Mar 1769	he stands with *Helena, his wife*

So Josephus and Helena are a documented married couple in March 1769 — where this archive had them joined only by their daughter's death entry of 1783 and her own burial as his widow in 1804. ⭐ And he now has three daughters: Rosalia (godmother 1769), Margarita (d. 1783, b. c. 1760), Marianna (godmother 1780). This row was the word «Dominus» two days ago. --- ⭐⭐ And a SON, named as his in 1772 — so this household is now four children deep. > 20 February 1772 · «[Mat]hia filia legitima jugalium Leonardi et Catharinæ Deprato[—] baptizata est a me Marco Bancich Parocho hujus Loci; patrini fuerunt D.ⁿᵘˢ JOANNES BAPTISTA DEFRANCESCHI FILIUS D.ⁿⁱ JOSEPHI, et ROSALIA FILIA EJUSDEM D.ⁿⁱ JOSEPHI.» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068930, «Liber Baptizatorum II», 20 February 1772. The ink is faint; the entry was magnified before transcription.)

	named as his	where

Margarita d. 1783 at 22	«filia Josephi et Hellenæ jugalium»	her death entry, twice written
Marianna	«filia Domini Josephi Defranceschi»	1780

Two days ago this row was the single word «Dominus». It now has a wife and four children, every one of them named as his in a register.** --- ⭐⭐ And his daughter married a lord of Castel Roč. > Die 20 Junij · «Antonius Aloysius Nicolò natus die 12 Junij, filius legitimus Domini Joannis Andreæ Nicolò DE CASTRO ROZZI, et MARIANNA ejus uxoris, FILIA DOMINI JOSEPHI DEFRANCESCHI, baptizatus est a R.ᵐᵒ D.ⁿᵒ MATHIA DEFRANCESCHI, Canonico TITULARI Cathedralis Ecclesiæ PETINENSIS, de licentia Parochi … R.ᵐᵘˢ Marcus Bancich Archipresbyteri; patrini fuerunt D.ⁿᵘˢ Joannes Baptista Defranceschi, et Maria uxor D.ⁿⁱ Antonij Covaz Pisinensis.» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068940, «Liber Baptizatorum II», 20 June 1781.)* Marianna is «uxor Domini Joannis Andreæ Nicolò de Castro Rozzi» — of the castle of Roč. And her son was baptised by a Defranceschi canon of Pedena cathedral, with her brother Joannes Baptista standing godfather. This row was the single word «Dominus» three days ago. It is now a household with a wife, four children, a daughter married into a castle family, and a canon in the kin. --- ⭐⭐ 11 October 2026 — four years and two months earlier than anything else on this row. > 16 Decembris 1764 · «baptizavi Luciam filiam legitimam Supani Martini et Mariæ jugalium Udovcich Gospood; patrini fuere D.ⁿᵘˢ Joseph Defranceschi et Lucia uxor defuncti Lucæ Dujanich ex Novaco» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068919, «Liber Baptizatorum II», in the hand of Marcus Bancich.) His earliest appearance until now was 26 February 1769, standing with his daughter Rosalia. This is 16 December 1764 — and the word that was once the whole of this row, «Dominus», is on him here too. He stands for a daughter of the serving župan, eight months after the Defranceschi župan is entered «defuncti». ⭐⭐ And a son, and his wife named two years earlier. > 17 Aprilis 1768 · «baptizavit Petrum Antonium filium legitimum D.ⁿⁱ Josephi, et Helenæ jugalium Defranceschi» (M01068923) > 11 Martij 1767 · «patrini fuerunt D.ⁿᵘˢ Joannes Petrus Defranceschi et Helena uxor D.ⁿⁱ Josephi Defranceschi» (M01068922) His son is Petrus Antonius, and he is the man the 1826 census enters as «civilitas», born 17 April 1768 — a row that until today had no parents on it. Helena is named as his wife in March 1767, two years before the 1769 entries that call her only «uxor ejusdem». Told in full here. ✔ And Helena beside his son, 18 December 1769 — «D.ⁿᵘˢ Joannes Baptista filius D.ⁿⁱ Josephi Defranceschi, et Helena uxor ejusdem D.ⁿⁱ Josephi» (M01068926). Father, wife and son all named in one clause. ✔ And his two children stand together, twice, for the other branch. 7 March 1775: «Rosalia filia D.ⁿⁱ Josephi Defranceschi» (M01068933). 15 March 1776: «Joannes Baptista Defranceschi, et Rosalia Defranceschi, filia D.ⁿⁱ Josephi Defranceschi» (M01068934) — at the baptism of the «detti Leonardi» daughter. --- ⭐⭐⭐ 11 October 2026 — A TRADE. This row began the week as the single word «Dominus». > 10 Februarij 1779 · «patrini fuerunt Vitus Pavelich, et Helena uxor D.ⁿⁱ Josephi Defranceschi MERCATORIS ex hac Parochia» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068938, «Liber Baptizatorum II».) MERCATOR — a merchant. And the entry is precise: the child's own father is written «Joannis Sherbaz FABRI», a smith, in the same line. It accounts for everything this row had already collected. The «Dominus» on every entry; the archpriest of Cerovlje fetched over to christen his son, with godparents from Pazin; the «civilitas» the 1826 census still gives that son; the «Cives» *the Gračišće register gives these people. ⭐ And it sets him in a trade network, not a household. Leonardus is «TEXTOR EX CARNIA» (1773); his son is «Textor» (1774); Joannes Verzin is «ex Carnia, professionis suæ SARTOR» (1775). Weaver, weaver, tailor, merchant. ⚠ One construction. The standing rule wants a second before a trade is read as settled, and this row says so. ✔ And a fifth child named in this book. 30 March 1782: «Patrini fuerunt Joannes Baptista filius Josephi de Franceschi et Margarita ejusdem filia» (M01068941). His children attested here are now Joannes Baptista, Rosalia, Marianna, Margarita and Petrus Antonius.* ⚠⚠ 11 October 2026 — his death year is now the most exposed figure on this row. Two entries from «Liber Baptizatorum II» put a Josephus Defranceschi alive after the date this row gives: 16 December 1783, standing godfather as «Dominus Josephus Defranceschi»; and 4 October 1787, «Hellena UXOR Josephi de Franceschi» — the register distinguishing uxor from viduus in the same clause. ⚠ No change is made. The family relationships tie Helena, Margarita and Joannes Baptista to one Josephus, so the archive's second Josephus row does not rescue the chronology. It is on the worklist, and a contemporary death entry is what would settle it. --- ⭐⭐⭐ 11 October 2026 — HIS DEATH, AND IT CORRECTS THIS ROW BY FIVE YEARS. > 36 · «Die 30, hora 4.ᵗᵃ Matutina, anno quo supra [1787] · Obijt JOSEPHUS DE FRANCESCHJ, MERCATOR, ætatis suæ annorum 64. Provisus in sua infirmitate omnibus Sacramentis necessariis a R.ᵈᵒ D.ⁿᵒ Can.ᶜᵒ Joanne Martinich. Cujus corpus 31 dicti sepultum est in Cœmeterio extra Locum, per R.ᵐᵘᵐ D.ⁿᵘᵐ Parocum ANICICH Novacci.» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068984, «Liber Mortuorum II», the male sequence.)

	this row carried	the register
died	1782 (a tree)	*the 30th, end of 1787*
born	1722 (the same tree)	aged 64 → *about 1723*
house	36 (inferred)	36 ✓
trade	«MERCATOR» (one construction)	*MERCATOR* — a second

The death year is corrected to 1787. The birth stays at 1722 — an implied year is not a declared one — with c. 1723 recorded beside it. ✔✔ And it resolves two things this archive had flagged and could not settle: Helena is «uxor» on 4 October 1787 because he was alive, and the «jugalium» of April 1783 was right — the obit calendar's «q.» *was the copyist's. ⚠⚠ AND IT EXPOSES A DUPLICATE. An undocumented tree row carries «Guiseppe / Josephus / Josip Defranceschi, 1723–1787» — the register's figures exactly. No merge is made here — ids are frozen and every link written this week points at this row — but the adjudication is on the worklist. --- ✔✔ AND THE DUPLICATE IS ADJUDICATED THE SAME DAY — one man, and this row keeps him. The 1782 death this row carried for a year does not exist. The whole of 1782 in the male death sequence was read entry by entry (M01068981): nine men and boys, every one named — Bancich, Deprato, Cinich, Stojsich, Ancich, a servant, Flegar, Udovcich, Crismanich — and not a Defranceschi among them. The obit calendar never produced him either. The undocumented tree row carrying 1723–1787 is marked sameAs this row. Neither id moves. This row has the trade, the wife, the five children, the house and the tomb; it now has the right death year too. ⚠ The birth stays at 1722, and it is the weakest figure on this row. The register's «annorum 64» implies c. 1723 and the joined row says 1723 — but an implied year is not a declared one and the two tree figures are not independent. A baptism entry would end it and nothing else will.

⚠ 6 October 2026 — this row was stale, and it is the SECOND one found the same way in one afternoon. It carried «born 1763» and an empty note, while the line data had held «born 4 March 1765» — documented, and explicitly recorded there as a correction of «about 1763». A finding in one file and not the other. Caught by walking page 75 of the death register and testing the roster against it. The death entry. Gologorica deaths, image M01069266, page 75, in the compressed one-line format Petrus Milcetich adopted: > «Xbris 12° · Josephus Defranceschi · 74 · 9 · 7 · febris nervosa» — 12 December 1838, aged 74 years 9 months 7 days, of nervous fever. ⚠ AND THE REGISTER'S OWN ARITHMETIC STILL DOES NOT CLOSE — which the archive had already noticed and this walk confirms independently. Seventy-four years nine months and seven days before 12 December 1838 lands on 5 March 1764, a year before the written birth of 4 March 1765. The written birth is kept as the better figure and the tension is left standing rather than smoothed. He was head of house 7 in the 1826 census, and the death book's own index calls him «Josephus junior» — father of the elder Maximilianus who died at four in 1817.

The tree and this archive disagree about the birth year by 1 year, and the death year agrees. Tree 1886, here 1887. That is what an age produces. A record giving «aged N» rather than a date yields a birth year that depends on whether the birthday had passed, so the two are one year of arithmetic apart, not one of evidence. This archive keeps its own figure, which came off the register; the tree's is recorded so the difference is visible rather than silently resolved. (20 Sept 2026.)

⭐⭐ READ ON THE PAGE, 12 October 2026. Ližnjan «Liber Defunctorum», page 99, entry 7 of 1888 — the scribe wrote the name in the left margin as well as the column: > «Josephus Defranceschi» · «Mort. — Martii, Sep. — ejusdem, 1888» · house 82 · Anagr. p. 305, III. 9 · «Josephus Defranceschi, Gregorii et Maria Vojnić» · cathol., mascol., «an. 1, mens. 11» · «nat. 15/4 86» Born 15 April 1886; died in March 1888, aged a year and eleven months — and the two agree: 15 April 1886 plus one year eleven months falls in March 1888. ⚠ THE DEATH DAY IS BLANK IN THE REGISTER. The scribe wrote «Mort. — Martii» and «Sep. — ejusdem» and never filled the days in. That is the book's own gap, not a reading failure, and no day is invented here. ⭐ And the anagrafe reference ties the household together across a move. This entry cites Anagr. p. 305, III. 9. Magdalena Justina's baptism cites Anagr. p. 305, III. 7 — the same page, the same family, a different person number — even though she was entered at house 61 in 1879 and he at house 82 in 1888. The house number moves; the anagrafe family does not. The household of Gregorius Defranceschi and Maria Vojnić now stands as: Maria and Anastasia, twins, born 20 February 1875 and dead together on the 22nd; a Maria of 1878 (indexed, unread); Magdalena Justina, born 3 October 1879, dead 18 May 1952; and this Josephus, born 15 April 1886, dead March 1888. Four of their children buried small. ⚠ TWO ROWS, ONE CHILD — and this time the TREE was right and the INDEX was wrong. The archive held josephus-defranceschi-1887 from the index, which says «b. Mar 1887», and josephus-defranceschi-1886 from the family tree, which says «1886». The register says 15 April 1886, so the tree had it and the index did not. The reverse of the Mаthæus case of the same week, and a useful corrective to assuming an index outranks a tree. Ids are frozen: both rows stand, the join is written on each.

Another child's dates, and the parish proves it. This row is the Gologorica Josephus; the years 1862–1870 were copied from a burial at Kaštelir. The Kaštelir row already carries a note that the tree and this archive disagree about his birth year — a disagreement this row was silently inheriting. Adjudicated 27 September 2026.

Five years old, and smallpox took him on 19 September 1789, nine days after the other house. > «Idem · [domus] 36 · 19 7bris [1789] · JOSEPH: DEFRAN-CESCHI ex Loco · annorum 5 · Pustulla» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01069231, page 8 of the Gologorica death register.) Born about 1784. Nothing in this archive recorded him but his death. He died at house 36 — the house that buried Catharina at eleven days in 1786, Maria Antonia at six months in 1791 and Catharina the mother at twenty-six in 1792. Four children and a wife in six years. ⚠ His parents are not stated. The entry gives «ex Loco» and the book's index files him as «Joseph Joanis Baptæ» — son of Joannes Baptista — which is a clerk's filing and is recorded as such.

The record itself

This archive has not placed this name in a household. What it does have is one indexed entry.

Josephus Defranceschi b. 1862 · d. 19 Mar 1870 · of Kaštelir, Istra, Hrvatska Kaštelir, Istra, Hrvatska

This is a record, not a family. The index names these people on one page and does not say how they are related — a parent, a spouse and a godparent look identical here. Nothing above has been joined to anything.

The same name, written another way

This archive holds 10 other pages under what Say Your Name reconciles as the same given name in another language — a Latin register, a Venetian clerk, a Croatian village, a Hungarian office. They are not merged and none of them is claimed to be this person: a shared name is not a shared identity, and the archive will not join one to the other by machine. It is here so that a reader looking for a man the records called Josephus can see where they wrote him Josip.

Identity here is by name, not by resolved individual. Where two people of one name appear in this archive they share this page, and it is for the reader to keep them apart — the surrounding text usually makes it obvious. Nothing here is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.

Back to Carnia

…perito nell'arte di muraro» built the marble altar of St Quirinus in the parish church at Visignano in 1736. Set this beside the Gologorica registers and the shape of the family's first century in Istria stops being mysterious. A «Dominus Josephus Defranceschi» stands godparent there through the 1760s and 1770s; a «Sig.r Piero De Franceschi da Gollogorizza» marries a noble Bembo at Valle in 1795. Brhan's article says exactly what that title meant for a Carnian family in Istria in that decade: not old standing,…

…«nata X». What disproved it, eight pages further on in the same book: «1863 Julii 16· 7· Lambertina DEFRANCESCHI, civis· 77· senectus». Lambertina was born Peschle, of Volosca, wife of Josephus Defranceschi and mother of Carlo De Franceschi. The register gives her husband's name. And the premise's own star witness says the same thing read properly: «Catharina DEPRATO nata Rovisi … uxor Joh: Baptista» — Deprato is the husband's family;…

His baptism entry says «natus heri media nocte» — born the previous day at midnight. So the 9th is the baptism and the birth is 8 January 1828, which is the third time this pattern has…

It enters this Aloysius in house 7, the household of Josephus Defranceschi and Lambertina née Peschle — so he is Carlo's brother — and gives the same 4 May 1832 as the 1908 list and the 1921 census. One man, one birth day, attested three times in one parish. ⚠ The 1870 is withdrawn, not reassigned. It came…

A dossier is every mention of a name anywhere in this archive's data, gathered automatically and linked back to the page it appears on, with what the archive knows about the person set out at the top. Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual: where two people share a name they share a dossier, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Rebuilt from the roster, so every person the archive can name has a page — including the ones read straight off a register that no index anywhere contains.
